HOT-WATER BOTTLE.

Application filed November 15, 1912.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MAX ROSENTHAL, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing in New York, in the borough of Manhattan, county andState of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inHot-Water Bottles, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved hotwater bottle which is made ofmetal and in such a shape that it can be used as a hot water bottle forthe abdomen, limbs, feet and other parts of the body, and also as awater-bottle for vaginal syringes and other applications; and for thispurpose the invention consists of a hot-water bottle made of oblongshape and provided with a concave front-wall, a straight rear-wall andstraight end and side-walls, the bottle being provided with asuspension-device, a fillingopening and a screw-plug at one end, and ascrew-socket and plugat the lower end for inserting a nipple when thebottle is to be used in connection with a syringe.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 represents a front-elevation of myimproved water-bottle, Fig. 2 is a vertical transverse section, showingthe water-bottle in suspended position, Fig. 3 is a top view, and Fig. 4is a vertical longitudinal section, showing the use of the water-bottlefor heating the abdomen or feet.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout thedifierent figures of the drawing.

Referring to the drawing, (1 represents the body of my improvedwater-bottle, which is preferably made of sheet-copper, aluminum orother suitable metal and plated with nickel or silver. The body a ismade of oblong shape with straight side-top and bottom-walls, a concavefront-wall which is rounded off toward the upper and lower ends, and astraight rear-wall as shown clearly in Fig. 2 of the drawing. To theupper end of the bottle is applied a suspen 1 sion-device b, so that'thewater-bottle can be used at any desired elevation in connection with avaginal syrings, in the same manner as the well-known rubber bags. Theupper end of the top is also provided, at one corner, with aninlet-opening d for permitting the filling of the water-bottle with hotSpecification of Letters Patent.

water, or with small pieces of chopped ice Patented Mar. 23, 1915.

The water-bottle can be used for different purposes and has theadvantage of great durability; as it is made of metal, and therefore notliable to leak after a comparatively short use, so that it forms apermanent bottle for domestic and other uses. By the concave shape ofthe front-wall, and the straight shape of the rear-wall, the bottle canbe applied to the abdomen or limbs, or to the feet or other parts of thebody, so

that the higher cost of the bottle is compensated by its convenience inits different applications and the durability of its construction.

I claim:

In a water bottle, the combination of a rear wall having surfaceelements composed of straight lines, a straight line top wall at rightangles to said rear wall provided with a filling opening in the top wallnear a corner formed by the edge of saidtop wall and the top of saidrear wall, a straight line bottom wall at right angles to said rear wallprovided with an emptying opening adapted to receive a nippleapproximately centrally thereof, a concave front wall joined at its endsto the top and bottom Walls by rounded surfaces, straight line sidewallsat r right angles to said rear wall, a fixed suspension handleprojecting beyond said top wall and immovably connected with said rearwall, and means for closing and openf copies of this patent may beobtained for five cents each, by addressing the Commissioner of Patents,
